Question

A) coronal
B) medial

Accepted Answer

A transverse section is produced when the body is separated into superior and inferior portions, also known as a cross-sectional or horizontal section. A coronal (also known as frontal) section divides the body into anterior and posterior portions, a sagittal section divides the body into left and right portions, and a parasagittal section is made off-center from the midline. A medial section is a reference to a section passing through the midline of the body.
